Technological Change and the Evolution of Corporate Innovation (Hardcover)

Hardcover. In this book Birgitte Andersen revisits in a modern context the ideas of Kuznets on technological growth paths, but emphasizes the stuctural variety in patenting where earlier authors focused on aggregate trends. The book represents the development of a major research project on patenting which is providing a solid quantitative base for examining these issues over a period spanning the 20th century. Economics and history are woven into the data in order to interpret the processes of change. The book is unique in both the breadth (over 100 innovation cycles) and scope (over the past century) of its coverage, and should be of interest to entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and researchers studying innovation and technological change. Technological Change and the Evolution of Corporate Innovation details historically how the innovative and competitive landscapes within industrialised societies have become increasingly complex. This book will appeal to industrial and business economists, technology historians, researchers, students, policymakers and business analysts.
